From Here To Infirmary has been my favorite for a long time, but lately I have been listening to ungodly amounts of Good Mourning. So maybe that is my favorite right now. "Continental" is now my favorite off of that album. It keeps me coming back and listening to it more.

My favourite song has to be Trucks and Trains.

(Thanks Butler)

I was wondering if anybody could tell me the meaning of the song Trucks and Trains from Alkaline Trio.

Yeah just notice they will come in Montreal with Rufio
It will be great!

:eek:
Dan Andriano had a custom bass made! Does anyone know where I could find one? The company closed down...

[QUOTE=Noize]I like alkaline trio too!!!

CRAWL (dnt mess wiht this song)

Yes, yes he is, especially as he sings. Go listen to Mr. Chainsaw- Good Bassline :thumb:

hw abut u lurn 2 speel?

:rolleyes:

Dumbass.

Anyway, Dan is a great bassist. I love his playing style. And Oz, it says that the GPC sig was modelled after the Fender Jazz, but if you're looking for that exact bass, good luck. Those things are **** hard to find.

same with matt's double fat model

[QUOTE=punkrocker15]i hope you know matt is the singer for mr.chain saw[/QUOTE]

I did know, but its still a good bassline

i heard radio and we said weve had enough i might check out one of there albums soon

[QUOTE=punkrocker15]i think matt is the better singer dans voice is to deep,new album may 25[/QUOTE]

Anyways. best songs probly:
Radio
Stupid Kid
Trucks and Trains
You're Dead
This Could Be Love
Clavicle
Private Eye

What can I say? I love Alkaline trio. I just bought tickets to see them play at the Irving Plaza, how exciting. Other then that, I think both Matt and Dan have great voices. They do such a good job when they blend their voices into one. They sound great in songs like, While You're Waiting and Trouble Breathing.

Also, I'm a bass player and I think Dan is quite good at bass, nothing to drool over but he's above average. For people who own the ALK3 dvd, they know what I mean. Dan rips up some pretty fast basslines in that dvd. I mean, he even speeds up Goodbye Forever, and I think we all know how fast the recorded version is? it's quite fast.

P.S.
Have any of you guys heard the new album? I'm quite happy with the turn out of it. It's earning great reviews everywhere. It's such an improvement from Good Mourning.

Yeah, i reckon it's much better than Good Mourning

[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]Yeah, i reckon it's much better than Good Mourning[/QUOTE]


Really? I'd be interested to hear it, i thought most thought GM was better

Nah, i haven't had Good Mourning for long, but Crimson is much better and so is FHTI.

I just found the weirdest video for Goodbye Forever.

:confused:

Does it involve Glenn with a lawn mower? Dan playing bass in a backyard? and Matt driving in his car? because that video is very old. I believe that was the first Alkaline trio video ever made.

That is true.
And Dan is playing bass....but his left hand is fretting, but not on the actual bass neck. :eek:

I remember when I first saw that video, I thought that was the coolest thing I've ever seen. The bassline is crazy enough.

I love Alkaline Trio. All I have by them is Good Mourning and From Here To Infirmary though. :(

You need Maybe I'll Catch Fire, Goddammit (too lazy for swear filter) and Crimson, and if your country doesn't get the bonus tracks on MICF and Goddammit, then you need to buy the self titled also.
The splits aren't necessary, but good for the big fans who love the trio.

The last split they did with One Man Army was amazing. They made some of their best songs on that cd. I don't think Dan will ever make a better song then If You Had A Bad Time, and I don't think Matt will ever make a better song then Sadie. Both of those songs are just amazing.

Sadie is on Crimson, and normally people don't like buying cds with only 5 or so songs by a band they like unless they are a big fan. Especially when it only apperas to be sold for like £15 whenever I see it. Although you can get it on the internet.

The new Sadie is much better in my opinion.

I agree, the chorus sounds a bit better for some reason, I think Matt's vocals have very slightly different timing. Haven't listened to the OMA split version in a while though, so I may be wrong.

You're probably right. I like the new version better because you can actually hear the voice during the bass solo and Dan sings in the outro as well.
